Bucket List in Brighton area

[Joey Ramone]

Chaps

My young cousin has been told he has a few months to live. One of the things he asked is that his friends and family gather with him as often as possible before it's too late, visit some good restaurants, and get some serious eating in. He's not rich, far from it, so this hasn't been Fat Duck standards - we're talking gourmet burger type stuff so far.

Anyway, I'm due to go down there in a couple of weeks with my brother, who's flying in from abroad. We want to take the lad to a great restaurant in or around Brighton, something a bit special or different. I wondered if any of the Sussex base PH foodies had a recommendation. Quality is important, obviously, but it has to be said that we observe the old adage that quantity has a quality all of its own. And if we can combine the two, then all the better.

Cheers in advance.

That's just the sort of help I was looking for. Thanks for that, much appreciated.

ETA: if you can fit it in, ignore all of the gourmet/fancy burger places and go to Burger Brothers. It's tiny and really a takeaway place (couple of stools to sit on inside) but they are the absolute best burgers you'll eat! They mince their own steak and the whole thing is sublime! Maybe you'll have room for a lunch or something during your visit (definitely not a restaurant/eat in)

We'll be there for a couple of days so that's exactly the sort of recommendation that we'll follow up.

Will do

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. We took him to Bincho Yakatori and he loved it. Got to say, that was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in a long time. Their pork belly skewers grilled on hot coals was something damned special.
